When Simian split up a few years back, I for one was gutted. Then one half of Simian Jas Shaw & James Ford went on to form Simian Mobile Disco, and their releases just seem to get better and better. Now they’ve signed to one of the UK’s most respected labels Wichita, and they are about to take 2007 by storm. It’s The Beat’ is built on elements of classic electro, hip hop and house, all put together in a simmering stew and laced with chemically imbalanced futuristic poke. It’s The Beat’ screams illegal all night party for those in the know. Simian Mobile Disco’s debut album is due this summer, it could be the album we’ve all been waiting for.
